Lil Smokey

My story

You can look. But don’t touch. Seriously. Don’t.Meet Lil Smokey, the dog version of that roommate who labels their leftovers and side-eyes you for breathing near their chips. He’s cute, compact, and rocking that “Do not perceive me” energy 24/7.Smokey is not your typical lap dog — unless you are the lap and he initiates contact under extremely specific emotional and astrological conditions. He’s quirky. He’s private. He’s not here for your unsolicited pets. Try to push it? You’ll get a warning nibble of “back off,” delivered with just enough flair to keep it legal.He:• Requires full privacy for bathroom business (yard mandatory, audience forbidden).• Loves toys, but no—he does not want to play fetch with you.• Has made a few dog friends after slow intros (think months, not minutes).• Takes daily meds to help with anxiety. (Same, buddy.)But beneath that skeptical little stare is a smart, sensitive guy who just wants to feel safe and respected. He’s looking for a home that gets him—someone experienced, patient, and fluent in “quirky turkey.”Lil Smokey isn’t your average adoptable fluff. He’s a long-term investment with big emotional returns. If you’re ready to earn a dog’s trust (and maybe his side-eye approval), Smokey’s ready to start his very slow, very specific love story.Inquire within. No paparazzi, please.
